happy i wish i could still eat chocolate day...

 happy easter to everyone that celebrates this. for the rest of us, hope you enjoy the candy. for us diabetics, well, i share in the misery. my body has decided it can no longer break down chocolate, so i have given it up. so, easter to me has now become a cruel mistress of past joy.


so, since we are on the misery tip, let me talk about Manchester United. United was fucking awful yesterday. after 15 minutes, you could tell they were completely uninterested in the game. if Brentford would have been clinical yesterday in the final third, they would have won by three or four goals. instead, Mason Mount scored late for United. and probably no sooner than i said don't fuck this up, Brentford equalized. 1-1 draw. a point that United didn't deserve at all.





the New York Rangers won yesterday at the Coyotes, 8-5. Jonathan Quick now has the most goalie wins for any American born goalie. 






the New York Yankees won last night at the Astros, 5-3. third straight come from behind win. hopefully, they will get the sweep this afternoon.







i did watch some college basketball last night. congrats to UConn and Alabama. the other half of the final four will be set today.




AEW Collision was good last night.









Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night.










here are your NBA highlights from last night:

on the DVR tonight will be A Gentleman in Moscow, The Regime, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Last Week Tonight.


a big thank you to everyone that checked out my latest published poem:

good friday...

 as some of you know and understand, i am not a very religious person. sometimes, i may be inclined to feel spiritual, but that is usually with the use of illegal substances. but, i know for many of you today is good friday. so, to each their own. i hope you enjoy.


the New York Yankees got down 4-0 yesterday at Houston. thankfully, this team didn't roll over like last season. they fought their way back to win the game 5-4. Juan Soto was huge on offense and defense. this is why they traded for him. hopefully, they will win again tonight.












the New York Rangers won last night at Colorado, 3-2, in the shootout. i love that the Rangers came from behind again and found a way to win. and i loved that they stopped Nathan McKinnon's point streak and how all the Colorado announcers whined like little babies about it after the game. as you can tell, i am ready for the playoffs.







NJPW ended up being some matches that i had already seen.


here are your NBA highlights from last night:



enjoy some music:








and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Real Time with Bill Maher and Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

up too early for a Thursday...

 mom wanted me to wake her up at 9:30 this morning for her 11 AM meeting with her financial planner. i was up at 6:45, so i could get all my shit done and have breakfast in me by 9:30. everything went to plan until the actual meeting. mom can't see well enough to do anything on her iPad other than play games. her regular computer is shit and mine has that fucking hum, so we had no choice but to use her iPad for this meeting. eventually, i got everything set up for her. i swear, i feel like an IT guy on call. once everything got set up and running, the meeting went fine. her financial planner does a really good job of communicating with mom so she knows what is going on. better, he makes sure i know what is going on since i have power of attorney. 


quick tv update in the living room. we believe it might be the sound bar that is fucking up. we get the picture fine but the sound is all fucked up. so yeah...


AEW Dynamite was really good last night.







The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.

i feel the rain coming...

 i suppose i got lucky today that it didn't rain. judging from the forecast, that luck will run the fuck out soon. add on that the tv in the living room is starting to die. good times.


grocery shopping was a little hectic today but i did manage to keep everything under $150. i think that was a good job considering all that was on the grocery list this morning was extra virgin olive oil. that was fun trying to think and shop at the same time.


the New York Rangers won last night at home against Philadelphia, 6-5 in OT. the Rangers are the first team in the NHL this season to qualify for the playoffs.

i didn't get much sleep, imagine that...

 i might have got 3 hours of sleep last night. that cargo ship colliding with the bridge in Baltimore kept me up most of the night. the problem with having friends and knowing people all over the place... thankfully, no one i know was involved.

dos a cero

 for every USA soccer fan, they know exactly what that means. and i'm sure every fan of the Mexican national team is sick of it. tough shit. the USMNT defeated Mexico last night, 2-0, to win their 3rd straight Concacaf Nations League title.







i got 11 out of the sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament. not as good as i wanted and not as bad as i feared.

it was fun while it lasted...

 i was hoping the Dayton Flyers were going to get off to a great start yesterday against Arizona. silly me. Dayton fell down by 17 yet again. they had a nice 10-0 run to end the half down only 7. they even got it down to 3 in the second half. but, you can't fall down that much to really good teams and continually pull the rabbit out of your ass and win. sadly, Dayton hasn't learned that lesson yet. Arizona won yesterday, 78-68. 





the New York Rangers won last night at home against Florida, 4-3, in a shootout.






i did watch a good number of college basketball games yesterday:





Ramy Youssef : More Feelings was fucking hilarious last night.



here are your NBA highlights from last night:

the USMNT takes on Mexico tonight in the Concacaf Nations League final.

welcome to the weekend...

 it has been one of those mornings. nothing like having to take a shit before i can even get all the dishes out of the dishwasher and put them away. plus, my iPhone needed to be updated and i can only do that with the help of the computer since there is so much on my phone. good times.


well, there were plenty of upsets yesterday in the NCAA tournament. hopefully, there will be a couple today as well.






Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.














Real Time with Bill Maher was excellent last night.




here are your NBA highlights from last night:

the Dayton Flyers play Arizona this afternoon. no one is really giving Dayton much of a chance in this game. hopefully, Dayton uses that for a little more motivation and they play out of their minds today. winner goes to the Sweet 16.



the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Florida. this is one of those teams the Rangers will most likely have to play at some point in the playoffs.


i'm sure i will watch plenty of college basketball today. 


hopefully, it won't be cold and rainy all damn day.


i should be on here tomorrow in the morning, definitely before the USMNT takes on Mexico.

just enough rain to make miserable seem like the only reality possible

 when the dull pain starts in my back and just radiates throughout my body, i know i am going to be useless. i can ice my back, stretch as much as i can, do something physical and absolutely nothing will help. and people think i'm joking when i say i want a morphine drip for Christmas.


i have to admit, i turned the Dayton Flyers game off last night when they got down by 17. my stress level was through the roof. my blood was boiling. so, i turned on the pregame for the USMNT and ordered a pizza for dinner. then, i noticed on my phone that Dayton started to make a comeback. mom wanted me to flip back to the game. i said no. i won't be the reason why they lose. and thankfully, they didn't lose. they finished the game on a 24-4 run and defeated Nevada, 63-60. they will play Arizona tomorrow afternoon.






the USMNT defeated Jamaica 3-1 in extra time to advance to the finals of the Concacaf Nations League. they will play Mexico on Sunday. 








the New York Rangers won last night at Boston, 5-2. they won all 3 games against Boston this season.





NJPW was really good last night.


here are your NBA highlights from last night.



enjoy some music:








and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.


so, Kentucky fucked my brackets last night. i am basically now just watching the games, hoping for upsets or my bets to hit. 





i will most likely be on here tomorrow before Dayton plays Arizona at 12:45. 


of course, if i happen to sleep for some unforeseen reason, it could be after the game.


i hope everyone has a great weekend.


until tomorrow kids...
